gone people, all awkward in their things

i spent pretty much the whole day listening to jack johnson.



the i-tunes originals cd is actually pretty good, he explains a lot of stuff about his music, his roots, his lyrics, etc. also listened to live from boston, sept 2004. which, since i've never seen him in concert, i have to say was good. a co-worker saw him in concert awhile back, and said he had little personality in concert, might as well just go buy the studio cd vs. spending the money on the concert. but this one was good, he interacted with the audience, etc. this is inane info but interesting to me because i just read an article about him last night while doing laundry. and after seeing his photos i like him even more. he has a little patch of gray hair on the side. just like me! and he's only 2 years older. yes, he's married. but a girl can dream.


...it just occured to me that he looks a little like ben affleck. except jack's head is much more oval shaped.

speaking of men i find attractive...(were we?) ok well today i was thinking about older men i find especially handsome.


regardless of their political affiliations/views/ridiculous comments/dating women that are anorexic, i still find these men to be very handsome. maybe it's the way the furrow their brow. there are others but i'm working on finding decent photos. anyhow. just a random thought.

one frustrating thing about driving in traffic all the time, is motorcycles. and not just their presence on the interstate. i think they're dangerous but a fine commuting vehicle. what i don't like is when they come flying up out of nowhere, swerving and weaving in between cars traveling at high speeds. or even at low speeds. i guess it's their lives on the line, but it freaks me out a little when there is a car right next to me, and a motorcycle decides to just fly right through. danger! what if my car door accidentally flew open, or i unknowingly swerved ever so slightly toward the dotted line in the road? wha-bam! seems real bad.

another thing i was thinking about today - if i want to get more fruit into my diet, i am seriously considering the idea of smoothies. for breakfast, perhaps. buy a bunch of fruit at the store - strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries, limes, lemons, oranges, bananas, apples, etc - freeze them, then throw 'em in the blender with some milk or yogurt and ice and yummy breakfast treat. jamba juice is so good, but pricey and they serve their juice in those styrofoam cups. i'm more earth conscious than that!

oh yeah, and the answer to the quiz everyone has been waiting for...

what do i crave most after rugby practice?
some good answers: cold water, hot shower, health food, margaritas...all fine choices but if i drank a margarita every time i had practice i would have a drinking problem! and, it's hot here so the hot shower thing only works when it's cold in the winter and we get all muddy. water and fruit would be the healthy choices for me to eat, but the correct answer is:

freezer pops. i love them.


(me, at work, listening to jack johnson. life is beautiful.)

Freezer pops!!!! Over here Rugby is played in winter so the hot shower thing is definitly the way to go.

Glad you find older men attractive....I'm feeling a bit old at the moment..lol

freezer pops...so tasty. i'm not going to lie, in the winter when we practice and it's all cold and muddy (cause it doesn't freeze here, just rains and rains) then i'm all about the hot shower.

as for older men, i think my white hair attracts them. i'd be lucky to find a real handsome one (like you, paul) that liked me back though.

I didn't know what Jack Johnson looked like for a long time, then I saw that video of his where everything's moving backwards in one long take (ingenious). I thought I was watching Joseph Fiennes, they look almost exactly the same....

kristen said...

yes, joseph fiennes! maybe he's a mixed breed between ben affleck and joseph fiennes. short hair, very handsome.

i think stan that left the message kind of looks like jim carrey...hmm

I do have sort of a "rubber" face like he does, look here to see an example
